About This Department

Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement in Dehradun

The Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement Department at MS Galaxy Hospital, Dehradun is led by two fellowship-trained surgeons — Dr. Vishnu Vajpai (FIJR, Joint Replacement) and Dr. Rohan Ratra (FESS, Endoscopic Spine Surgery). Together, they offer the complete range of orthopaedic care — from total knee and hip replacement to complex spinal surgery and sports injury management.

Whether you are suffering from severe knee pain that prevents you from walking, a disc prolapse causing leg numbness, or a fracture following an accident — our orthopaedic team provides a diagnosis and treatment plan on the same visit, backed by immediate X-Ray and CT Scan imaging.

Conditions & Treatments We Offer

Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

For severe arthritis where the knee cartilage has worn away completely — causing constant pain, swelling and inability to walk. TKR replaces the damaged joint with a precision metal and plastic implant. Most patients walk within 24 hours of surgery.

Total Hip Replacement (THR)

For hip arthritis, avascular necrosis or hip fracture — replacing the damaged hip joint to eliminate pain and restore mobility. Return to normal activity in 6–8 weeks.

Revision Joint Surgery

For failed or painful previous joint replacements — complex revision surgery to correct problems with implant positioning, loosening or infection.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery (FESS)

Minimally invasive camera-guided spine surgery for disc prolapse, spinal stenosis and spondylosis — 8mm incision, no major muscle damage, back home in 1–2 days.

Arthroscopic Surgery

Keyhole surgery for knee, shoulder and ankle — meniscus tears, ACL ligament reconstruction, rotator cuff repair and joint cartilage problems.

Sports Injuries

Ligament tears (ACL, PCL), muscle tears, tendon injuries — assessed, treated and rehabilitated by our orthopaedic team.

Fracture Management

Emergency fracture fixation — plates, screws, nails and external fixators. Polytrauma management in coordination with our ICU team.

Step by Step

Your Treatment Journey at MS Galaxy Hospital

From your first consultation to recovery — here is exactly what to expect at every step.

Consultation & Examination

Your X-Rays are reviewed and joints examined. The severity of arthritis is graded and surgical versus non-surgical options are discussed honestly.

Pre-operative Optimisation

Blood tests, cardiac and anaesthesia clearance, blood pressure and sugar control — all arranged before surgery.

Surgery

Joint replacement: 60–90 minutes under spinal or general anaesthesia. Endoscopic spine surgery: 45–60 minutes. Fracture fixation: varies. All performed in our laminar airflow Modular OT.

Physiotherapy — Day 1

Our physiotherapist visits you the morning after surgery. Knee replacement patients begin walking with support on day 1. This is important for preventing clots and speeding recovery.

Discharge & Home Exercise

Most joint replacement patients are discharged in 3–5 days with a written home exercise programme.

Follow-up

Review at 2 weeks (wound check), 6 weeks (X-Ray and strength assessment), 3 months and 1 year.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is knee replacement available in Dehradun?

Yes. Dr. Vishnu Vajpai (FIJR certified) performs total knee and hip replacement at MS Galaxy Hospital, Dehradun.

Is spine surgery available in Dehradun without open surgery?

Yes. Dr. Rohan Ratra (FESS) performs minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery at MS Galaxy Hospital, Dehradun.

What is the cost of knee replacement in Dehradun?

Total knee replacement at MS Galaxy Hospital, Dehradun is significantly more affordable than Delhi or Mumbai. Cost depends on implant type (standard or high-flex) and length of stay. Call 9760316002 for a detailed estimate.

How long does a knee replacement last?

Modern knee replacement implants last 15–25 years in most patients. Avoiding high-impact activities and maintaining a healthy weight prolongs implant life.

At what age can I have knee replacement?

Knee replacement is based on severity of arthritis and degree of disability — not age. Patients from 45 to 80+ years have successful knee replacements. If pain is severe and quality of life is significantly affected, age is not a barrier.

Is endoscopic spine surgery better than open surgery?

For suitable cases (single level disc prolapse, lumbar stenosis), endoscopic FESS surgery offers faster recovery, less blood loss and earlier return to work compared to open surgery. Dr. Rohan Ratra (FESS certified) will advise if you are a suitable candidate.

Can I avoid knee replacement with physiotherapy?

For mild to moderate arthritis, physiotherapy, weight loss and injections can provide significant relief. However, once arthritis is severe (bone-on-bone), these measures have limited effect and joint replacement is the definitive solution.
